Chapter 40 (Sign)
Currently, I'm standing in front of the Lion classroom entrance door.
"Alright, let's enter."
I' try to persuade myself and getting myself fired up.
This morning I was able to wake up properly thanks to Mia-san.
However, although I didn't oversleep thanks to the alarm clock, but since Mia-san was absent, I felt lonelier compared to yesterday.
When I finished changing my clothes into my uniform and went down bellow, there's some of the remaining food from last night and Mia-san's note on the table.
It was written with,
『"I leave some food which can be preserved. if it's alright with you, please eat it for breakfast"』
Thank you very much, I give my words of gratitude toward her inside my heart as I eat the food, then after finished eating my breakfast I run toward the academy.
And here I am now, in front of the Lion classroom entrance.
There's a reason as to why I'm going to the academy rather early.
And that reason is,
"Has Cecil-san already come, I wonder ?"
Right...
I had immediately left the classroom after declined Cecil-san invitation.
I intend to apologize to her, that's why I come to the academy early today.
"... What are you doing standing there, hurry up and go inside."
I heard someone voice from behind me, then I look back.
"Ah..."
It was Kyurie-san.
I can see her trying to delicately fix her breath... it can't be, did she also comes running ?
"Good morning."
"...Nn, ah... morning."
..................................
I feel the distance between us have shortened.
Even if it's just being able to exchange greetings normally, it is a huge progress.
However, Kyurie-san expression seems somewhat awkward.
Also, her complexion isn't that good either.
Is she weak in the morning ?
"Kyurie-san, did you also have a business which requires you to comes early today, too ?"
"Eh ?"
When she heard me said that, Kyurie-san shows a troubled expression.
"Well, since there's still time until the morning homeroom, that's why"
"Homurumu ?"
"Ahー... I meant, there's still a lot of time until 『attendance report time』, thus is there some business which requires you to come early, is what I had thought"
In this world, it is 『attendance report time』, which at the previous world it is called 『morning homeroom』.
<TLN : Ok folks confusing kanji trivia time... the kanji used here being read as "direct report/fast report/immediate report" depends on the context... however, I don't think blatant translation is fit for this, thus I took the liberty to alter it a little.>
By the way, I say 『 go home report 』when I go back.
<TLN : Same as above, this one, in fact, using kanji which means, "Lower time report/bottom report/etc"... which doesn't make any sense in English...>
"... For some reason, I just want to come early. besides, if it's about unusual attending time, then it is not something that you had the right to say, no ?"
"T-That's true..."
"However, youー"
Kyurie-san looking at me finding it very interesting...
"Having run that much, you don't seem to loose any breath"
"Eh ?"
.......................
Certainly, now that she said it.
Yesterday I grumbled about my body which is a lack of exercise.
Which reminds me, even when I running until this place, I didn't sweat much, and my breath didn't rise either.
And when I was running, my body somewhat felt light.
Judging from yesterday fatigue, I thought there would be still some remaining.
... This is must be thanks to Mia-san cooking and a good nice sleep last night.
"Hmm, well that's fine, now, hurry up enter."
Kyurie-san then urges me while opened the door, then I enter the classroom following her.
First, I searched for Cecil-san figure.
Then I see her figure sitting in the middle of the second line from the back.
Zix-san and Hirgiz-san sits on both of her sides.
Then the students looking at Cecil-san as if saying "Here it come !" when they saw my figure.
"I... have a little bit business with Cecil-san."
Kyurie-san then looking at me and Cecil-san in turn.
"... such an honest guy aren't you ?"
She seems to understand what I'm about to do somehow.
Kyurie-san then she goes to her own seat.
And I,
"Yesterday, for me to left the classroom in such hasty manners, I'm very sorry"
I go near Cecil-san seat then I lowered my head.
Then Zix-san make a way for Cecil-san to comes out.
Her expression looks very composed, however... though I'm not really good at reading someone feeling.
When she folded her arm loosely, Cecil-san shows a smile which gives a self-mockery feeling.
"... Except by a relative, this is might be the first time for me that a man had declined my invitation"
"Emmー"
"No, there's nothing for you to apologize for. however, I do have one request..."
*Gulp*
What is it I wonder ?
Don't tell me, is it 『Please don't talk to me ever again』...?
Uuh... I wonder what is she gonna say... I felt really nervous...
*Fufufu* Cecil-san then smiled.
"Today, will you have a lunch together with me ?"
"... Yes ?"
"Like I said, today lunch, I wish to have a lunch together just the two of us... is it no good~?"
<TLN : She said "Dame~?" in that last part, which usually being accompanied by upturned eyes... where no man can refuse when a cute girl does something like that>
If she shows me that lonely expression when she said 『Is it a no good~?』... there's no way I can refuse...
It is an expression where I feel like I'm a very bad person if I were to decline her invitation here.
Moreover... there won't be any meaning to my apologies... thus I shouldn't decline.
"I understand... if that is what Cecil-san wants then."
"Thank you very much, Kurohiko"
Cecil-san then shows a happy smile and naturally takes my hand.
I'm feeling surprised because of how smooth her skin are...
"C-Cecil-san..."
"You should be careful of being seduced okay ? Kurohiko."
The one who said those words monotonously isー Kyurie-san.
... or rather, just now, Kyurie-san called me using my name, right ?
"The word 『Seduced』 just now... I wonder if that was directed at me ?"
Cecil-san who's let go of my hand, goes to Kyurie-san.
Then Kyurie-san turned toward Cecil-san.
"To say such thing, then, does this young lady, do you have a clue ?"
"---!!"
*piku* Cecil-san trembled a little and begin responded.
"Y-You..."
"Fuun... what's this, did I hit the mark ?"
However, Cecil-san calmed down immediately and takes some breath.
"No... well, that's fine..."
After she calmed down, she changed the topic.
"The one which Kurohiko runs after and make a party with is you isn't it ?"
"Seems so."
"So, did you pair up with him ?"
"Yes..."
*Ooh !*, such sounds resounded inside the classroom.
Kyurie-san looked at Cecil-san with cynical expression...
This is... should I intervene here ?
"So, is there any problem with it ?"
"I'm not going to give up Kurohiko."
Hearing that, the stir within the classroom grew.
After a slight silence, Kyurie-san opened her mouth.
"There's no meaning in saying that to me thoughー"
"I just want to say those words..."
"Fuun, is that so. ah, if you were worried regarding the matter of me being a former member of the sixth institution then, he already approves it you know ? he seems to be ready for the danger too."
"... But even so, that was yourー"
"Listen okay..."
Kyurie-san interrupted forcibly.
"I will break off my relationship with that fellow immediately if that fellow said it that he doesn't want to pair up with me anymore. that's why, it depends on that fellow himselfー am I wrong ?"
Then Cecil-san smiled after hearing that...
"I see... depends on Kurohiko is it ?"
"?? well indeed..."
